布倫特原油低位大幅反彈

據(jù)4月23日The News倫敦報(bào)道，周三布倫特原油價(jià)格創(chuàng)20年來新低，隨后大幅反彈。歐洲基準(zhǔn)布倫特北海原油6月份交貨價(jià)跌至每桶15.98美元，為1999年6月以來的最低水平，隨后反彈至每桶20美元以上。

格林尼治標(biāo)準(zhǔn)時(shí)間13點(diǎn)50分，西德克薩斯中質(zhì)原油（WTI）6月份新合約下跌了10％以上，至10.26美元，但隨后又上漲了1/3以上，至15.74美元。

IG貿(mào)易集團(tuán)高級市場分析師Joshua Mahony表示：“油價(jià)波動(dòng)仍然是交易界關(guān)注的焦點(diǎn)?！?/span>

由于疫情封鎖，原油需求量少之又少，盡管庫存量已經(jīng)達(dá)到最高點(diǎn)，但產(chǎn)量仍然很高。隨著美國基準(zhǔn)WTI的5月合約周一跌至負(fù)40美元，原油市場一落千丈。

俄羅斯和沙特阿拉伯之間的價(jià)格戰(zhàn)加劇石油市場危機(jī)。

雖然這兩個(gè)國家在這場爭吵下劃清了界限，生產(chǎn)商也每天削減了1000萬桶的產(chǎn)量，但這還不足以防止價(jià)格出現(xiàn)歷史性下跌。

AxiCorp公司的Stephen Innes總結(jié)道，原油價(jià)格暴跌使生產(chǎn)者向客戶付款。這反映了一個(gè)現(xiàn)象，即“對石油沒有實(shí)際需求，也沒有地方儲存石油”。

分析人士表示，歐佩克+盟國周二舉行電話會議的消息推動(dòng)了周三表現(xiàn)的好轉(zhuǎn)。

Briefing.com分析師帕特里克?奧黑爾（Patrick J.O'Hare）指出，7月份WTI原油期貨價(jià)格超過20美元這一事實(shí)也讓許多投資者安心。

他在給客戶的一份報(bào)告中說：“石油期貨價(jià)格正價(jià)格偏差曲線意味著市場再次燃起新的希望，即未來幾個(gè)月內(nèi)經(jīng)濟(jì)的回溫將緩解當(dāng)今緊迫的存儲問題，因?yàn)樵诠?yīng)將減少的時(shí)候需求會回升?！?/span>

Brent rebounds sharply from two-decade low

Brent oil struck a two-decade low Wednesday before rebounding sharply. The European benchmark, Brent North Sea crude for delivery in June, fell to $15.98 per barrel -- the lowest level since June 1999, before bouncing higher to burst back above $20.

West Texas Intermediate′s new June contract, after having dropped more than 10 percent to as low as $10.26, shot up by over a third to $15.74 at 1350 GMT.

"Oil volatility is still front and centre for the trading community," said Joshua Mahony, senior market analyst at IG trading group,

With crude demand virtually non-existent owing to virus lockdowns, and production still high despite storage at the bursting point, crude markets had been sent into freefall with the May contract of US benchmark WTI diving to minus $40 on Monday.

The crisis in the oil market caused by the coronavirus was compounded by a price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia.

While the pair drew a line under the row and led producers into slashing output by 10 million barrels a day, that has not been enough to prevent historic price falls.

Crude′s rout which saw producers pay clients to take it off their hands "merely reflects the underlying theme that there is no demand for physical oil, and there is nowhere to store it", concluded AxiCorp′s Stephen Innes.

Analysts said Wednesday′s better performance was driven by news that members of OPEC, as well as some allies in the OPEC+ grouping, held a teleconference Tuesday.

Briefing.com analyst Patrick J. O′Hare noted the fact that futures contracts for July WTI oil are above $20 has also reassured many investors.

"The positive price bias along the oil futures curve implies that there is some renewed hope this morning that a reopening of the economy in coming months will mitigate the pressing storage issue today as demand picks up at a time when supply is going to be reduced," he said in a note to clients.
